Imagine arriving home to find it cold and dark. You don't think " home sweet home ." If this happens to you often, it's likely your house isn't welcoming and lacks the decorative touches that create a warm and inviting atmosphere. On the other hand, you might have objects that don't encourage you to spend time inside— to enjoy a hot cup of coffee, to immerse yourself in a good book (or an exciting series).
It is important to consider your decorative style, know how to mix and match objects with different colors, textures and sizes, and add a personal touch to the decoration, highlights El Mueble Magazine, which points out three objects that make a home not look welcoming.
Metal and glass
Avoid overusing metal objects and furniture, whether made of iron or aluminum. These items are cold and, at times, unattractive . Furthermore, they make a space look outdated.
On the other hand, adding too many glass pieces can also backfire on your decor. Glass, like stone, is a cold material. A home where the first thing you see upon entering is a glass door with metal frames is synonymous with an unwelcoming welcome.
Gray and black
Black and gray are the most elegant and sophisticated colors for a home. However, painting the walls in these colors, along with choosing a cool-toned floor and furniture, textiles, or other objects in shades of gray, results in a somber and unexpressive atmosphere.
The solution is as simple as adding a touch of color through textiles such as bedspreads in the bedrooms, rugs in the living room, towels in the bathroom, and dish towels in the kitchen. You can also add other elements like trays or centerpieces in vibrant colors.
Shortage of textiles
Textiles are essential in any room of your home. They can completely transform the look of a space, and if you choose them well, you can ensure that the room feels warm and inviting: cushions, blankets, rugs… The more combinations of textures and sizes, the better.
